Excel 2007 printing error: "The number must be between 10 and 400.


Hi, An annoying error has started to surface in many (but by no means all) of my worksheets when printing (some of the) charts. The print preview works fine but then the error message "The number must be between 10 and 400. Try again by entering a number in this range" appears. The graphs print fine when I click the message away (although they then default to portrait printing rather than landscape) but I cannot find any particular cause for this error. Once it has occurred on a specific graph, it always occurs when printing that graph but not necessarily when printing others. On one workbook, I copied graphs from an alternative Excel 2007 workbook (and then changed the data to refer to columns in the new workbook) and, although I do not get the errors in the original Excel 2007 workbook (saved in Excel 2007 binary format) they do persistently occur when printing from the new workbook (also Excel 2007 binary)! Also, when I copied the graphs to the new workbook, I then edited the links in the new workbook to remove any links to the original workbook but this did not change the links for the graph data (perhaps because the graphs were pasted in to a worksheet, not on separate chart sheets?) Any ideas as to how to cure this error? There is a (restricted) hotfix for a problem which gives the same strange error message but the scenario for the cause of this message is somewhat different and I am not sure the fix would be applicable to my instance (and I cannot easily download the hot fix as it is not available on the Office updates page). Many thanks, as always, and best wishes, Boris.

OK, seem (at least for the moment) to have got rid of the error - ny changing the paper size in page setup for the graphs... Don't know what that's all about but...

Worksheets can get very big, very fast. Often you want to still print an entire worksheet in a single sheet of paper. Excel makes this easy to do by using scaling. All you need to do is follow these steps:

  1. Set up your worksheet as desired.
  2. Choose Page Setup from the File menu. Excel displays the Page Setup dialog box.
  3. Make sure the Page tab is selected. (See Figure 1.) (It is the left-most tab and should be displayed by default unless you've recently viewed a different tab in the Page Setup dialog box.)

Figure 1. The Page tab of the Page Setup dialog box.

  1. In the scaling area, specify how you want your output scaled. Excel allows you to set scaling at any value between 10 percent and 400 percent of normal size. (The results of scaling to a certain percentage will depend on the quality and capabilities of your printer.)
  2. As an alternative, use Fit To to specify how many pages you want the output to occupy.
  3. Click on OK.
  4. Print your worksheet as normal.

One of the tricks I often use is to set the Fit To settings to 1 page wide by 99 pages tall. In this way, I am sure the output will fit on one page across. Since my output isn't over 99 pages in length, no shrinking is done on this dimension. I end up with output that is 1 page wide by how ever many pages long Excel needs to print.
